SKZ is proud to be a trusted supplier of color measurement instruments to The Coca‑Cola Company, a Fortune 500 leader with a global presence. For a brand whose iconic red and consistent product appearance are central to its identity, color accuracy is non‑negotiable-. From beverage color consistency to packaging and label quality control, every detail matters. We thank Coca‑Cola for choosing SKZ among countless suppliers worldwide. Our SKZ3020 portable spectrophotometers are now deployed across Coca‑Cola’s quality control lines – delivering laboratory‑grade accuracy at an economical price point, with service that turns every purchase into a lasting partnership.
The SKZ3020 is a horizontal portable spectrophotometer designed as an economical entry‑level solution- without compromising on essential performance. It features a single fixed aperture (available in 4mm or 8mm options), making it ideal for routine color quality inspection where consistent measurement conditions are required. Whether you are checking beverage colors through transparent containers- or verifying printed labels and packaging materials, the SKZ3020 delivers stable and repeatable readings that production teams can rely on.
Equipped with a full‑spectrum LED light source, the SKZ3020 provides balanced illumination across the entire visible spectrum-. Unlike traditional tungsten lamps, full‑spectrum LEDs offer longer lifespan – typically over 5 years or 3 million measurements- – and more stable spectral output. This ensures that color measurements remain consistent over time, reducing the need for frequent recalibration and delivering reliable data shift after shift.
With a repeatability precision of less than ΔE*ab 0.07, the SKZ3020 ensures that the same sample measured multiple times yields virtually identical results-. This level of repeatability is critical for production environments where operators need to trust that color deviations are real product variations, not instrument errors. Coca‑Cola’s quality teams rely on this consistency to maintain strict color tolerances across millions of units produced daily.
The SKZ3020 integrates visual positioning technology, allowing operators to see exactly where the measurement is being taken. This eliminates guesswork and ensures that measurements are captured from the correct location on the sample – whether it is a curved bottle surface, a flat label, or an irregular packaging component. For high‑speed production lines where efficiency is paramount, visual positioning reduces measurement errors and saves valuable time.
The SKZ3020 supports SCI (Specular Component Included) measurement mode, which captures both diffuse and specular reflected light-. This provides a total color measurement that closely matches how the human eye perceives color, including the effect of surface gloss. For applications like printed labels, coated packaging, and glossy surfaces, SCI mode delivers color data that aligns with visual appraisal – helping Coca‑Cola ensure that every package looks right to the consumer.
Designed with portability in mind, the SKZ3020 is lightweight and easy to operate, making it suitable for use across receiving inspection, production lines, and final quality control-. Its horizontal form factor provides stability during measurement, reducing operator‑induced variability. The instrument is applicable across a wide range of industries – plastics, paints, coatings, printing, textiles, and more- – making it a versatile tool for any manufacturer serious about color quality.
As Coca‑Cola’s global footprint continues to expand, so does our partnership. Order volumes for the SKZ3020 have been steadily rising – a testament to the trust our customers place in SKZ’s quality and service. Our latest shipment left in early 2026, and many more will follow. At SKZ, our commitment never changes: reliable accuracy, durable design, and service that supports our customers every step of the way. Together, we’re keeping brand colors consistent – one measurement at a time.
